Chapter 176 - Just Like That

Hey!! What are you doing?! Lingshan was starting to panic- Lin Yi was reaching the edge already, clearly not planning on stopping! Its fine if you cant find them- dont do anything stupid!!

It wasnt Lingshans fault for assuming that of Lin Yi- after all, the guy was moments away from falling off the cliff. It was obvious suicide; there simply wasnt another explanation for the speed he was walking at!

Was the guy afraid that shed mess with him if he told her he couldnt find anyone?? She did act pretty cross with him was he planning on ending things here and now?!

Lingshan didnt think it was in Lin Yis character to commit suicide just like that, judging from his calm attitude regarding almost everything- there was no way hed be afraid of her, from what shed seen of the guy! Yet the reality and gravity of the situation was right in front of her, and Lingshan had to do something.

Without replying, Lin Yi got to the edge of the cliff before coming to a halt.

Fuu. Lingshan sighed in relief as she caught up to Lin Yi. What are you planning? Are you trying to scare me?

Lin Yi only stood there quietly, eyes shut.

Hey Lingshan raised her eyebrows. Youre not angry at me, are you? Youre a man, arent you, dont be mad at something like this, okay?

Theyre down there. Lin Yi said, opening his eyes and hitting the soil on the edge with his shoe, much to Lingshans worry. Dude, careful!

Whatre you saying? Lingshan asked, not understanding Lin Yis words.

The suspects- theyre down there. Lin Yi said.

Ugh Lingshans face darkened at the statement. Youre not trying to tell me that the suspects are at the bottom of the cliff, are you? They fell to their deaths..?

Theyre alive. Lin Yi said, shaking his head. The jade didnt respond to dead people.

Alive? Lingshan paused, not expecting that- she had thought that Lin Yi was throwing some random reason at her, planning to tell her that the suspects they were looking for had fallen to their deaths.

Theyre right under my feet, not at the bottom of the cliff. Lin Yi said, stomping his foot again as he explained. Its a different thing- this means theres a cave at the bottom of this cliff.

Cave? Lingshan blinked as she tried to take the claim in- there was a cave inside the cliff?

Its a guess. Lin Yi said. You can send someone to check it.

Lin Yi could very well climb down the cliff bare-handed, but had no intention of doing so- after all, hed completed his task of locating the suspects for Lingshan. Hed rather keep his capabilities a secret.

After all, climbing down a cliff without equipment like that was a feat expected of people at the special ops level- even trained professionals had a difficult time scaling unmapped terrain like this.

Lin Yi performing what was believed to be a difficult feat would only attract the suspicion of special ops Song Lingshan.

You sure? Lingshan couldnt just take Lin Yis word for it- after all, the guy really just walked around randomly before stopping at the edge of a cliff, telling her that the suspects were hiding themselves in a cave inside the cliff

It was only natural to doubt the claim- anyone would find it hard to believe.

Im sure probably. Lin Yi nodded, thinking that the jade had yet to make any errors. He was still receiving strong signals from the jade, after all.

It seemed that people who had been hostile towards him were recorded in the jade regardless of the degree of malice they had.

Wait for me then- Ill go down for a look. Lingshan said after looking down the cliff, rubbing her hands as she prepared to descend it. She still found it hard to believe that the suspects were right under them.

I dont think you should. Lin Yi advised. He wasnt underestimating Lingshan, but it didnt seem very safe at all for her to deal with four to five armed criminals on her own. They have guns.

Fine, Ill believe you just this once! Lingshan said, giving up on the idea. She wanted to see if Lin Yi was telling the truth as soon as possible, but it wasnt worth the risk- what if the suspects really were down there?

Of course you should- why should I even be here if you dont? Although, Lin Yi understood the cause for Lingshans doubts- itd probably sound like a miracle to even Huaijun if he heard that Lin Yi had found the hideaway on his first try.

Ill contact the chopper- theyll bring some men over. Lingshan said as she pulled her phone out. Theyd used helicopters for the search before, but they couldnt go too far down because of the trees, only circling the area and giving up when nothing showed up.

It was also true that they hadnt sent a chopper to check for a cave in the cliff before- Lingshan decided to use her trust in the captain with Lin Yi, since the guy sounded so confident and all.

So can I go now? Lin Yi asked, thinking that there wasnt much else he could do now that the suspects have been located.

No!! Lingshan rejected instantly. Wait until the suspects are caught!

I still have class. Lin Yi said.

Ill drive you to class! Lingshan insisted.

Okay then. Lin Yi said as he seated himself on the ground for a better view of Lingshan, running his eyes up her figure. What a view! Absolutely stunning!

Lingshan assumed that Lin Yi was describing the scenery from the cliff, but something seemed off, prompting her to follow Lin Yis gaze

Her face reddened as she realized what the guy was talking about- she really wanted to just kick Lin Yi off the cliff at this point! Where are you looking at?

A part of your bodys sticking up so much its blocking my view. Of the sky. Lin Yi said innocently.

Yeah, keep looking, Ill poke your eyes out to clean my shoes with. Lingshan threatened as she turned her body away from Lin Yis eyes.

Youre threatening me- Im gonna call the police. Lin Yi said nonchalantly as he relaxed and laid himself on the ground.

Big sis here is the police. Why dont you tell me your concerns? Lingshan said with a glare.

Its nothing, then. Lin Yi said.

...... There wasnt much Lingshan could do, other than glare at the guy.

It wasnt long before the chopper arrived, and Lingshans phone rang. She told them of the enemys location and sent them to investigate the cliff.

Lingshan wasnt expecting much, but her phone rang again- the suspects were all there, save for the dead members Baldy and Ma Laoliu.

Lingshan was speechless- there really were people in there?

Wasnt Lin Yi trying to bullshit his way out of things? It didnt seem likely anymore, but How was the guy so sure, and how did he even know about the cave in the first place?

Shed been following him around the whole time, so how come hed known about it and she hadnt? Could anyone tell her what was even happening anymore?
